Very nice. I've given it a quick skim, not a thorough reading, but it looks like a pretty solid Eratta/FAQ. It's also much kinder to us than the Adepticon FAQ (no ejection, doomwheel needs no LOS for charge, etc). | ||

Q. If the rider is killed, what happens to the Bell/Furnace? A. It continues to function normally inside its unit. The only difference is that all ranged attacks against it will hit the Bell – no need to randomise. Well that shuts up a lot of people who can't reach logical conclusions on their own. And the stormbanner and warptokens are now one use only. Has any armybook ever needed eight pages of FAQ, before now? |

And the unit upgrade to magic items doesn't effect Magic Item counts (WaW and Death Globes) on characters and vice versa. Another good one that's been hotly debated. --Cap |

I think the Warriors FAQ might have been that big... I could be wrong about who, but I'm sure it's not their first 8 page FAQ. It may be their second though. Lots of good questions answered. Only thing that really surprised me was their suggestion that Bone Breakers be US 3. |

One big surprise is the US3(4) Rat Ogre bonebreaker. That's a significant and unexpected boost. Look Out Sir and can't be picked out? US3 Warlitter also nice, no killing blow (KB only works on US2 and less). The only significant question that I can think of that they didn't catch was the Storm Banner's "magical missile" debate. |

Well, it was to be expected that the Master Moulder (as a Champion) would end up in the front rank. A bit of a bummer, though, as it makes him stand out with that large "Hey, I'm here. Hit me. HIT ME!"-sign... In addition, I'd rather have that GW would say (for the base sizes of both the War Litter and the HPA): This is the base size, instead of a "we suggest this, but..." approach. It makes me feel somewhat wairy of the option that when GW does release the model, you'll end up with something that has a completely different base size. :rolleyes: Other then that: Finally...

I would have liked a clarification on the wrecker ball also; optional vs. mandatory wrecker attacks IIRC the text (paraphrased but kept key wording) says, 'the wrecker can be let loose at the end of combat' can being a conditional; but later it says, 'this attack happens at the end', happens implying that it is mandatory. The more I think about it, the more it seems mandatory, afterall the crew is frenzied and drug addled, but I'd love the option to not swing it. MTTE: RE: Base Sizes; my Abom sits on a 50x75, I guess I'll start giving my opponents the option to 'superize' him to a 60x100 base since I have one of those now. --Cap |

I was incorrect. The Warriors FAQ was the largest army book FAQ up until today, but at a mere 6 pages in length. The average army FAQ is about 4 pages in length, the older books tend to be around 3 pages and the newer around 5. The core rulebook FAQs are each 8 pages in length, though they do have a notably larger amount of material to cover.
